Performance Team Info

Purpose:

The purpose of DTNW Performance Group, is to provide our most dedicated dancers with a well-rounded, professional dance experience. That experience includes these key elements: 

*Accelerated training: Group dancers learn their skills earlier, at an accelerated pace, and with higher standards of perfection. The mandatory technique class gives dancers the opportunity to develop their skills and technique while learning challenging choreography. 

*Additional performing opportunities: Dancers perform at 3-5 performances per season, as well as our annual Spring Recital. 

*A family-like environment: DTNW STARS dancers perform age-appropriate dances and enjoy a sense of belonging to a team, which is critical to their social development at a time in their lives when friends are very important to them.  

Our main goal is to use dance as a vehicle to teach life lessons that will have value in any vocation our dancers may choose when they grow up.  Lesser goals include teaching them about all aspects of performing, helping them to become comfortable experiencing new things, guiding them in learning to set and work intelligently towards achieving their goals and encouraging them to compare themselves not to others, but to who they were yesterday!
